Indian Domestic Circuit 2025/26 (@BCCIdomestic/X.com)
The BCCI unveiled the domestic cricket calendar for the 2025/26 season, introducing several notable adjustments to the structure of competitions.
The Ranji Trophy is now split into two segments: the league stage set for October and the knockouts scheduled for February.
Kicking off the season, the Duleep Trophy will roll into action from August 28th in BCCI Centre of Excellence, Bangalore.
Following the Duleep Trophy, the focus shifts to Vidarbha for the Irani Trophy starting October 1.
The domestic T20 frenzy, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, will ignite the pitch from November 26 to December 18, followed by the Vijay Hazare Trophy from December 24 to January 18.
The league matches of the Ranji Trophy will commence on October 15, continuing until February 1, with the knockouts following closely from February 6 to February 26. The Deodhar Trophy, briefly resurrected last season, has been shelved once again.
